i have a couple of questions for you guys. what is everyones opinions on the following?
1) If Tony woulda been whacked, who would have taken over?? Was Paulie really going to take over? Or was NY simply going to branch out into Jersey and use what was left of the Jersey crews to run NJ?? Thats what Phil's plan was right?
2) Who took over for Phil? Was it Butchie? He didnt seem like the 'boss' type. Or do you guys think Carmine got the gig?
3) When a 3rd party 'guarantees' security for a meeting of two rival families....if the security fails, or if someone gets killed...does the 3rd party who 'guarantees' security become a target for elimination? i'm thinking yes....cause i remember in the Godfather a 'negotiator' is used and faces being hurt or harmed if anything goes wrong at a meeting of rival families.
4) Is there some general fund each family keeps to take care of widows/paraplegics affected families?? Or does this just come out of the bosses pocket every month??
Just some things I've been left wondering.
1. Paulie would have taken over. Silvio is the
Consigliere but he is in coma. Patsy who has new found power being Tony's brother in law but he
just became
Capo. Carlo flipped, Bobby is dead, and Larry Barese is still under house arrest.
2. Probably Butchie. Though Albie was the
Consigliere, Butch seems to weild more power in the Lupertazzi Family. Carmine is a
Capo that operates out of Miami, and has turned down the position before, he wouldn't takeover.
3. Don Cardi took the words out of my mouth...
4. Not exactly sure about the whole widow thing.
